It may not have been bright, but it was certainly early as teams of spirited property professionals gathered at Fairlop Waters on Sunday 18 May for the third annual Agents Giving Dragon Boat Race.

Propertymark has consistently called for policy that safeguards landlords’ ability to protect their property and manage risks, while recognising tenants’ desire for companionship and emotional support through pet ownership.
